Desired Results
Co-Teaching: List the co-teaching style you’ll be using and why you have chosen this co-teaching method.
-Teaming is the main method we have chosen because it is important to students to hear the skills from both instructors. We also both have our strengths within teaching different skills.
-One teaching and one assisting will also be incorporated into this lesson because as students are being instructed by one teacher the other will go around to help with individual work.
Learning Objective: Key Understanding(s) you intend students to obtain:
- Why it is important to use proper form when throwing and catching the football.
- Why it is beneficial to correctly hold the football and be in an athletic stance when throwing and preparing to throw a football.
Assessment Evidence
What do you want your students to know? -How to hold the football properly in preparation for throwing. -That in order to be in an athletic stance you need to bend knees, legs spread apart, back straight, on the balls of your feet, head up, hands in front of body.
-In order to throw a proper spiral like a quarter back, 2-3 fingers need to be in the laces toward the back of the ball; the ball is placed next to their ear, with a high elbow, stepping with their opposite foot and shifting their weight from the back foot to their front foot; following through to their opposite hip. Make sure the ball is going off of their fingertips.
- To catch a pass properly like a wide receiver by using their hands and more specifically fingertips.
What do you want students to be able to do?
-Hold the football with their fingers spread, fingertips in the laces, thumb underneath the football.
-Demonstrate an athletic stance.
-Throw a proper spiral.
- How to catch a ball pass properly using their hands.
Group Accountability (Formative Evaluation) How will you check to see whether your class has met your learning objectives?
-Person to person observation
-Demonstrate abilities to class
-Ask questions as we go along about the critical elements
Individual Accountability (Summative Evaluation)
Learning Plan
What key vocabulary/language will students need to know to meet the learning objective? -Quarterback
-Wide receiver
-Laces
-Athletic stance
How will you teach this key vocabulary to enable students to meet the learning objective?
Key vocabulary will be used in instruction, purposefully saying quarterback instead of thrower, then through demonstration and feedback from students. Quarterback will be used to teach students terms used to describe positions on the field.
What is/are the Essential/Guiding Question(s) for this Lesson? (It should correlate to your learning objective.)
-How can you use what you learn today about flag football/sports/athletics in other aspects of your life?
-Why is it important to learn to properly throw and catch a football?
How will you differentiate for all the learners.
